your code doesn’t parse the xml correctly… try this:

function init() {
	_global.stream = false;
	_global.loop = false;
	_global.paused = false;
	_global.playlist = true;
	setTrackStatus("stop");
	playlist.gotoAndStop(2);
	updateSettings();
	loadSongList("play.xml");
init();

that doesn’t include button functions but it’d work…
